Abstract:
Cervical cancer is the fourth common cancer in women globally, with the number of new cases accounted for 18.6 % among all the cancer patients, in China. It is well known that the situation of prevention and control programs are quite challenging. Based on the efforts being made in the last 20 years, the etiology and carcinogenesis on cervical cancer had been clearly understood. Breakthroughs had been achieved in the development of prophylactic human papillomovirus vaccine and the technology of in screening. Various screening strategies are already available in areas with different economic status. Nevertheless, the capacity of health care services at the primary care clinics needs to be improved to narrow the gap between the reality and the demands.
